Yeah as a goalie father I gotta say….there is no reason why goalies should pay for travel. In beer league, goalies are treated with reverence and respect. They never pay.
You expect fathers to shell out all these fees then have to deal with puberty which can be difference of jr to int or int to senior where payday literally cost $2000 for leg pads…they need tough chest protector, helmet must be strong enough for their age group (must be able to withstand bantam age shots, for example).
If youth hockey really wanted to fix goalie problem then do that because we pay for personal goalie coach already and goalies don’t grow because teams don’t have one at practices. They are just seeing pucks
Let me show you my surprised face. lol. And this is coming from someone that was prolly one of Flowers biggest haters. Edit: I do kind of hope he would sign a 1 day contract to retire a Penguin. But I dnt see him doing that or having any thoughts of doing something like that unless he does all the teams he played for cuz he deserves to be retired individually from all of them.
Although the Leafs risk parting ways with one of their goalies in (Woll/Stolarz) -if they want a top 6 center, + avoid giving up another top prospect in Easton Cowan, they may need to consider it, if there is an offer made

Oilers and Leafs, for sure.
But like a mean flower, eh?
Oilers should have traded for him in January…
So why aren't they calling the Canucks? We are loaded with goalie talent.
Oilers, Kraken, Boston who else
Flower sells tickets just by showing up. No other goalie does that right now.
I have to guess the Devils were one considering they waited so long to resign allen
Minnesota or Montréal should offer him a "home games only" contract.
Not surprised goalie market was thin
Kind of hope Montreal was part of those 5, but im ok if not. We might have had the best chance tho 😅
since demko got signed the oilers are absolutely fucked when it comes to goaltending.
they lost john gibson, they lost demko and now they have no other options.
Never understood why PENS let him go 🤷🏼♂️

Montreal should offer a PTO just to give him one home game for the Habs.
Quebec City should immediately hire him as an ambassador to help get an NHL team there
COME BACK FLEURY LFG

From what, the Bakersfield Condors? The London Knights? SKA? Dutch Elite?
Marc is going to be driving the Zamboni this year.
Glad to see its not just my local beer league with a shortage of tendies. Everyone wants to be a goalie until its time to do goalie things.
I’ve been saying since last year that Flower saying “just one more year” and unretiring would be the ultimate prank.
He's not coming back….. He has nothing to prove…it was hard enough for him to retire… In the 1st place

I agree w cliffalla6375…have Fleury help get a Team back in Quebec City 👍🏻🏒
Flower, Flower, Flower, we want a return in …Edmonton?
So, Oilers and Leafs, but who else?
I hope he laughed at them lol
